Question/Comment:

I am taking Aggrenox/Aspirin. I don't know if it falls in line with coumadin but it also thins your blood.

Question/Comment:

I am taking Warfarin. Since I have been on it I have had to quit smoking, which of course if a good thing, but I am finding that I have a hard time breathing. I am putting on weight even though I walk 30 minutes a night. I am also losing hair at a faster rate. Anyone going thru this too?

Thanks, elowsmom21st@yahoo.com

Question/Comment:

I didn't realize that coumadin was prescribed for heart problems. I thought it was for blood pressure. With coumadin I know how difficult it is to get it regulated to the correct dose. This is one case where I think maybe the "cure" is worse than the "health issues."
